-->''"You underestimate me, Billy. I'm going to be better than Kang the Conqueror. Much better."''

-> '''Debut comic''': ''Young Avengers v1 #1 (as Iron Lad)'', ''Avengers v1 #8 (as Kang)''

''Because the revelation that Nate is Kang is made in the very first issue and is vital to describe the character, anything Kang related will be unspoiled here. Also see [[ComicBook/KangTheConqueror here]] for more tropes related to Nate.''

->Founding member of the Young Avengers. Nate is a young Kang the Conqueror from the 30th century. He sent himself back in time after his future self, hoping to spare himself painful moments, rescued him from long-term hospitalization and gave him a suit of neurokinetic armor. Horrified by his future self, he used the suit to send himself back in time and warn the Avengers. Upon arrival to the past he realized the Avengers had already disbanded, so he used the Avengers Fail-Safe Program to create his own team with the purpose of defeating his future self. In the fight with his future Kang, Nate damages the timestream, and his memories are wiped and he is forced to return to his own timeline and reclaim his place as Kang. He had a brief dalliance with Cassie.

->Nate's suit is incredibly advanced. It is made of a rare 40th-century alloy that responds to his subconscious thoughts. It functions as more or less as a SwissArmyWeapon, which more than makes up for Nate not having powers himself. He also has various advanced weapons that he uses in battle.

* AesopAmnesia: He left the Young Avengers because his presence alone was starting to damage the timestream. However in Children's Crusade, he returns and allows Cassie to alter the timestream and bring her dead father back, something that led to [[spoiler:her death at the hands of Doom]]. After that he willingly forgets that lesson out of a desire to [[spoiler:revive Cassie]] by altering the timestream. Even worse, he comes back to help Doom, [[spoiler:the man who killed Cassie]].
* TheCavalry: Iron Lad's return in Children's Crusade to prevent Wolverine from killing Wanda.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: He has no powers aside from the futuristic suit his future self gifted to him.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: After the events of ''The Children's Crusade'', Nate reappears in full Kang costume to help Doctor Doom stopping the FF.
* FallenHero: He went from Iron Lad to Kid Immortus after [[spoiler:Cassie's death]].
* ForegoneConclusion: Nate is a young Immortus (Kang the Conqueror), hence his turn to evil is pretty much a given.
* FirstEpisodeTwist: The fact he is Kang the Conqueror is revealed in the first issue of Young Avengers.
* FusionDance: He wanted to do this with Doom and Annihilator to create "Doom the annihilating conqueror" and then get rid of the FF and the Fantastic Four.
* FutureMeScaresMe: The only reason he created the Young Avengers was because he needed support when he had to confront his future self. He kept training non-stop with the team because of this reason too.
* InSeriesNickname: Nate is short for Nathaniel.
* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: He becomes this in FF vol. 2. He is already with Ravona Renslayer but she already hates him (from a betrayal way into the future) and plans to punish him eternally in different times.
* JuniorCounterpart: He patterns himself after Iron Man.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: His love for Cassie is what made him [[spoiler:kill the Vision]] and then go back to the timestream and start changing events in hopes of [[spoiler:reviving her]].
* LoveTriangle: In a weird variation of this. He gets into a triangle without even knowing it. He and Cassie liked each other but after Nate left, the new Vision (created from his old Kang armor and with his brain patterns) started falling in love with Cassie too. She wanted to be with Nate again (knowing he would never come back again) but also considered the new Vision's feelings. All three finally meet again in Children's Crusade and...let's just say it doesn't end well for any of them.
* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: Nate accidentally did this after he received information from his older self about his team dying in a war with the Avengers if he didn't go to save them. It is later implied by an old Billy that no one would have died if Nate hadn't go back in time.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Pretty much all he tried to do so far.
* OnlySaneMan: He was this in the initial Young Avengers team. Eli was too stubborn for his own good and Billy and Teddy were just fanboys.
* ScrewDestiny: Nathaniel founded the Young Avengers to avoid his destiny of becoming a supervillain. [[YouCantFightFate Didn't work]].
* StartOfDarkness: The end of Children's Crusade. In FF vol. 2 he is already in full Kang costume and helping Dr. Doom.
* TimeyWimeyBall: He is young Kang, of course Time travel is involved.
* TragicHero: Kang is no hero but all of Nate's plans while with the Young Avengers failed because he never learned that time travel was not his to manipulate at all.
* YouCantFightFate: He tried hard to stop himself from becoming Kang, only to succumb to his fate without even realizing it.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Patriot_1_5077.jpg[[/labelnote]] to see Eli's first costume]]

-->''"The black ComicBook/CaptainAmerica is no myth. He's my grandfather. And I wanted to be just like him. I wanted to carry on his legacy."''

-> '''Debut comic''': ''Young Avengers v1 #1''

-> A founding member of the Young Avengers. Eli is the grandson of Isaiah Bradley, the only survivor of a program that attempted to replicate Captain America's SuperSerum and used black men as guinea pigs. He got his powers from a SuperhumanTransfusion from his grandfather, and joined up with Iron Lad when he formed the Young Avengers. He leaves the team in the aftermath of ''The Children's Crusade'', after realizing how his actions hurt several people. He and Kate had a brief relationship, but as of now they are not seeing each other.

-> After his blood transfusion from his grandfather Eli gained the powers of a SuperSoldier: his attributes such as speed and strength, while not supernatural, were magnified to the peak of human potential.

->After not appearing in Young Avengers v2, it is offhandedly mentioned that he quietly retired during the ''Comicbook/SecretEmpire'' event and gave the Patriot name to Rayshaun Lucas.

----
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: In his ''Young Avengers Presents'' one-shot, ComicBook/BuckyBarnes tells him about Jeff Mace, the WWII-era Patriot, who later took over as Captain America.
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: Although not the official leader of the team (that's Kate), he's cool-headed, pragmatic, and calls some of the shots.
* CaptainPatriotic: His codename ''is'' "Patriot."
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Less so than Kate, but Eli can't help but help people in need.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He hasn't been seen since the end of ''Children's Crusade'', making him the only still-living member of the original team to not show up again. He finally reappeared in 2019, in ''Marvel Comics #1000''.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: His opinions tend to get shut down, such as his protests over Kate joining the team and working with Magneto.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: He rejected Melter from the Young Avengers because he believe he was good enough to be the leader of his own team of heroes instead of being just a soldier under his command. However, Melter thought he was being rejected because of the belief that he wasn't a good hero. He lost any hope and desire to be a good guy since then.
* DominoMask: He starts wearing a red one after ditching the mask.
%%TheHero
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: He aspires to be a superhero, though it's to carry on his grandfather's legacy.
* InSeriesNickname: Eli is short for Elijah.
%%TheIdealist
* KnightInSourArmor: He's aware that not everything is good in his country and resents the treatment of his grandfather, but that doesn't stop him from trying to uphold its ideals.
* LegacyCharacter: Of his own grandfather.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He fights with Captain America's old shield.
%%NiceGuy
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: He interrupts the effort to revert what Scarlet Witch did in M Day because he doesn't trust Doctor Doom. It leads to Scarlet Witch nearly burnt alive by the magic and Doctor Doom getting all the power.]]
* ThePaladin: He's dedicated to doing good, but only in a lawful way. He's uneasy when the team work with known villains like Magneto.
* PutOnABus: At the end of ''Children's Crusade'' he quits the team and moves to Scottsdale to be with his mother. He doesn't appear in Vol. 2 due to ExecutiveMeddling.
* SlapSlapKiss: With Kate. They argue all the time, but obviously care deeply about each other.
* SuperSoldier: DoubleSubverted. [[spoiler: He claims to be one and has the power of one, but it turns out he'd been born without latent powers and had been using steroids in order to keep up. Then subverted ''again'' when he gets a SuperhumanTransfusion from his grandfather, turning him into one for real.]]
* SuperhumanTransfusion: The source of his powers is a blood transfusion from his grandfather, who'd been injected with SuperSerum.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: His interference caused the Scarlet Witch to lose her magic and Doctor Doom to gain god-like power.]]

--> ''"I have all this power...and so the responsibility to use it. But I've also the responsibility to know how to use this power. And Billy Kaplan? You don't know what the hell you're doing. YET."''

-> '''Debut comic''': ''Young Avengers v1 #1''

->Not the leader but arguably the main character of the series. [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Billy was a friendly kid from the Upper West Side who used to attend a normal school where he was the victim of bullying]]. After standing up to the bully's beatdown of another kid, Billy stood up to him and as a result discovered his powers. He later joined the Young Avengers where he met Teddy and fell in love with him. After the team located other young heroes in an effort to rescue Teddy after his capture by the Skrulls, Billy met his twin brother, the speedster Tommy. It didn't take long before he theorized about the two of them being the lost children of the powerful Scarlet Witch, something that was confirmed when they found her in ''ComicBook/TheChildrensCrusade''. Currently he's part of [[Characters/NewMutants Sunspot]] A.I.M. (Avengers Idea Mechanics), a global organization that takes on threats outside American soil. He's also still training to control his newfound Demiurge powers, as well as dating Teddy on top of all of that.

->His powers are basically that of his mother, the Scarlet Witch: [[RealityWarper reality altering powers]] and powerful magic that he uses by repeating the spell aloud and many times in a row. (He says it's to help him concentrate). It was stated that the full extent of his powers are close to those of a god (or a Demiurge) and could be as powerful if not more than those of the Scarlet Witch.

-->''"Hurt feelings isn't a reason to ''hurt people.''"''

-> '''Debut comic''': ''Young Avengers v1 #1''

->A founding member of the Young Avengers. Teddy lived on earth with his mother, and believed that he was a mutant because of his powers. Wanting to become normal, he used his shape-shifting powers to [[GayGuySeeksPopularJock befriend the most popular kid in his school]] but after this kid tried to steal things from the destroyed Avengers Mansion with Teddy, they stopped being friends. This incident prompted Teddy to realize that he couldn't hide anymore and he became part of the Young Avengers. Later, after a fight with the Super Skrull he found out [[spoiler: that he was the son of Captain Marvel and the princess of the Skrull Anelle and that his powers were of Kree and Skrull origin instead of a mutation]]. Since then he has had many confrontations with extraterrestrials trying to get their hands on him. Currently he's part of [[Characters/NewMutants Sunspot]] A.I.M. (Avengers Idea Mechanics), a global organization that takes on threats outside American soil. He is in a relationship with Billy.

->He has the ability to shape-shift at will, although his transformations aren't perfect and have varied degrees of success. He also has super strength and wings he could sprout if desired, also he has great durability and his body shape-shifts automatically to protect itself.

[[caption-width-right:360:[[labelnote:Click here]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katebishop_1876.png[[/labelnote]] to see Kate's first costume]]

--> ''"I have no powers and not nearly enough training, but I'm doing this anyways. Being a super hero is amazing. Everyone should try it."''

-> '''Debut comic''': ''Young Avengers v1 #1''

->The current leader of the team and co-protagonist of the fourth and fifth volume of ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}. Kate had it all: a complete family with a loving mother, a sweet older sister and an extremely wealthy father. Despite all of this, she developed a compulsive desire to help others instead of living the high life (probably because of her mother's influence). One day, a guy assaulted her in a park and left her traumatized. After grieving and attending therapy, she realized the only person that could bring her out of her depression was herself. Soon afterwards, she started intense training in different kinds of combat and weaponry to ensure no one ever had to go through what she experienced. The day of her sister's wedding, a group of criminals held the ceremony hostage. After she assisted the Young Avengers in saving the day, she decided to join the team and was eventually accepted. Currently she is back in New York, still in contact with her team and helping Clint Barton too. Also, she is single.

->She doesn't have any powers but she is skilled in many martial arts and weapons. However, her skills with [[TheStraightAndArrowPath the bow and arrows]] are so developed that sometimes it is implied they rival those of Clint Barton himself. Also, she is a great tactician and strategist, usually planning and leading the battles of the Young Avengers.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Stature_1516.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Cassie's first costume]]

-->''"I did the best I could. And I’m through apologizing for who and what I am."''

->As the daughter of Scott Lang, former engineer to the Fantastic Four and Ant-Man after Henry Pym, Cassie's childhood was already deeply entrenched in superheroing (to the point of being able to refer to Iron Man as "Uncle Tony"). She wanted to grow up to become a superhero like her father. However, after [[Comicbook/AvengersDisassembled her father's death]], Cassie was forced to live with her mother and a stepfather who resented all superpowered beings. When she learns of the Young Avengers, she joins Kate in seeking them out. They are both eventually accepted onto the team. In ''Civil War'' she is initially part of the rebellion but eventually becomes the only Young Avenger to join the Initiative.

->As a child, Cassie frequently stole Pym particles from her father. After repeated exposure she gained the ability to grow or shrink at will, hence her codename "Stature."

!!Thomas "Tommy" Shepherd[=/=]Speed
!!!'''Species:''' Human mutant
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_speed_2_5160.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Tommy's first costume]]

--> ''"I don't have feelings. And I don't hold hands."''

-> Tommy was born and raised in New Jersey. As a result of his parents' divorce and his growing powers, he found himself in and out of juvie. When the team uses the Avengers Fail-Safe Program to recruit other superpowered teens who could help them rescue Teddy, they break Tommy out of a high-security facility (where he was being experimented on), after which he joins the Young Avengers. His strong resemblance to Billy is instantly noted, and they are theorized to be the long-lost twins of the Scarlet Witch. Tommy and Billy search for her but are unsuccessful. They are later confirmed to be her sons in ''The Children's Crusade.'' Sometime after that and Volume 2, Tommy got fed up with the team and left. He started working for David's company, assembling machines, but is kidnapped by Fake Patriot for much of the volume.

-> Like Billy has the Scarlet Witch's powers, Speed has the power set of her brother Quicksilver -- SuperSpeed and its RequiredSecondaryPowers, high stamina and SuperReflexes. He can also produce hyperkinetic vibrations that can cause explosions and adjust his density so he can shift through solid objects.

----
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Due to being a speedster, he has a very limited attention span by our standards.
* ArrowCatch: In ''Secret Invasion'' he catches a quickly-thrown sai aimed at Teddy with no problem. Justified due to his super speed.
* BadassBoast:
** Pretty simple but effective in issue 6 of vol.2, when he explains and demonstrates to Prodigy how many weeks of work he can do in few minutes.
** Subverted in the team's first meeting with Runaways, when he tries one on Chase ("I'm all you need"), only to find out he needs something more than bragging to impress a guy with a pet dinosaur.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He's protective of Wiccan in his own way (even though they are twins and neither actually knows which one is older). He's also fond of [[Comicbook/{{Runaways}} Molly Hayes]], whom he goes out of his way to protect in the ''Secret Invasion'' crossover.
* BlessedWithSuck: Like his uncle Pietro, having super speed means he perceives "normal" life as excruciatingly slow. In issue 6 of the 2013 run, he comments "Snails never get it."
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He has a big zeal for destruction in his first appearance, but it's toned down as the story goes on.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: His biological parents got divorced and the Young Avengers found him in a juvie, where he was presumably experimented on.
* DistressedDude: [[spoiler: He's whisked away by an unknown entity dressed in Eli[=/=]Patriot's old costume in vol.2 #6. He returns during the afterparty in #14, and his return is explained in #15.]]
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: His codename. He's a speedster.
* IdenticalStranger: Other characters immediately note his stark resemblance to Billy. They're eventually revealed to be the somewhat-reincarnations of the Scarlet Witch's twin sons.
* InSeriesNickname: Tommy is short for Thomas.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being VitriolicBestFriends with pretty much everyone, there are some moments where he can't quite cover up just how much he cares.
* JuniorCounterpart: To his sort-of uncle, Quicksilver -- he inherited the super speed, white hair, and smidge of jerkassery.
* MoralityPet: Molly of the Runaways bonded with Tommy when the two teams teamed up, and he's shown to be particularly protective of her whenever the two teams meet up. He also seems to have a soft-spot for Kate, given he tends to be ''far'' more friendly with her than the rest of the team (besides some flirty teasing on his part), largely due to their on-off casual relationship.
* NotGoodWithPeople: As evidenced in his clumsy attempts to cheer Billy up. He admits to Teddy that he cannot blend in with normal people.
* PolarOppositeTwins: To Billy in almost every aspect from their personality to family background.
* SecretLegacy: Son of the Scarlet Witch, with the powerset of her brother Quicksilver.
* SixthRanger: He joins the Young Avengers some time after the team has gotten comfortable with each other.
* StuffBlowingUp: A side effect of his SuperSpeed -- he can vibrate extremely fast in order to make things explode.
* SuperReflexes: A side effect of SuperSpeed -- because normal life is comparatively slow for him, he can react instantly to things.
* SuperSpeed: His power.
* TangledFamilyTree: See above under Wiccan's entry.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Or as Billy describes him, the "team sociopath".
* {{Tsundere}}: He'd mock his teammates and deny having any affection for them but can be very sweet when they're down.

[[folder:The Vision II]]
!!Jonas/The Vision II
!!!'''Species:''' Synthezoid
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Vision_1686.jpg]]

->While exploring the destroyed Avengers mansion, Iron Lad found the remains of the original Vision and downloaded his operating system into his armor. When Kang attacked the Young Avengers, Nate took his armor off in order to avoid being tracked, and the Vision's OS activated the armor into becoming sentient. He remained in the custody of the Avengers for a time, during which he concluded that this new, advanced Vision had all the potential but none of the experience of the old Vision. After ''Civil War'' he spent some time WalkingTheEarth and adopted the name "Jonas" for himself, declaring himself a completely different individual from Iron Lad and the original Vision.

->Jonas possesses many abilities of the original Vision as well as some of his own, due to his futuristic technology. This includes shapeshifting, density manipulation, self-propelled flight, energy manipulation, and extreme intelligence.
----

* DependingOnTheWriter: The writers couldn't seem to decide whether Jonas was [[TheNthDoctor the original Vision in a new, younger body]], or an entirely new character. Creator/EdBrubaker and Creator/BrianBendis wrote him as the former, while Heinberg wrote him as the latter. Since the return of the original Vision, it's been definitively stated that Jonas was an entirely different character.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: He was rather abruptly killed off once Marvel decided to bring back the original Vision.]]
* IdentityImpersonator: Kate has him impersonate her on a mission so she can fool Executioner into thinking he hadn't figured out her secret identity (and thus, couldn't use it to blackmail her).
* IntangibleMan: He can become this.
* JuniorCounterpart: To the original Vision.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: After he refuses to let Iron Lad bring Cassie back to life, stating that it could damage the timestream further, Iron Lad kills him.]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Justified as his body is from the far future where this trope would be more plausible.
* RobotMe: His brain patterns were based on Iron Lad's.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: In ''Children's Crusade.'']]
* {{Shapeshifting}}: He can also shapeshift.
* TheSmartGuy: He's essentially a walking supercomputer, so he fulfills this role for the team.
-->'''Nico''': How much time do you spend in the library?\\
'''Jonas''': I am a library.
* SpockSpeak: Again, walking supercomputer. This is pretty much required of him. He drops it as the series goes on.
* TangledFamilyTree: He could be seen as either brother or ''father'' of Billy and Tommy, depending if you see him and previous Vision and same person or some sort of robotic father and son. Among his other family members you have [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Ultron, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver]], [[ComicBook/TheInhumans Crystal, Luna]], [[Comicbook/{{Runaways}} Victor Mancha]], [[ComicBook/XMen Polaris]], ComicBook/{{Magneto}} and so on...
* TinMan: He actually works to become more emotional and human-like.
* WalkingTheEarth: For a short while after ''Civil War'', where he picked up many experiences.

-> '''Debut comic''': ''Vengeance #1''

->Ex co-leader of the new Teen Brigade and co-protagonist of the mini-series ''Vengeance''. America was a princess who lived in a utopia full of women. When her [[HasTwoMommies mothers]] sacrificed themselves to stop the hole in America's dimension, saving her and everybody in the process, she decided to leave to honor her dimension's creator and her mothers' ideals by becoming a hero. Ten years later she joined a new Teen Brigade that operated in the shadows but soon the team disbanded and she found herself traveling dimensions until Loki recruited her (sort of) to the Young Avengers. Currently she is part of a scientific exploration team known as the Ultimates that deal with cosmic and other incredibly powerful threats. She's a lesbian (but briefly experimented with heterosexuality) and is currently dating a normal girl named Lisa.

->She's a FlyingBrick powerful enough that even Loki's afraid of getting hit by her. However her most valuable power probably is her ability to travel through dimensions. She can create portals to other dimensions with her star shaped tattoos. No one knows how she got these powers, especially when the inhabitants of her original dimension were so afraid of interacting with the rest of the multiverse.

--> ''"...I come from a dimension where there is transcendental peace and universal enlightenment. But there are no close harmony girl groups. How could anyone leave a world that makes things as wonderful as this?"''

-> '''Debut comic''': ''Marvel Boy Vol. 2 #1''

->Ex-Avenger, ex-Dark Avenger, ex-teenage rebel. Noh-Varr is a Kree from another dimension who, after getting lost in the multiverse in a mission of peace, crashed on Earth-Earth. The crash killed his parents and his girlfriend and got him captured by Doctor Midas. He escaped and swore revenge against the human race, starting by burning [[spoiler: [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK YOU]] ]] into the streets of Manhattan. Later he confronted Midas with the help of the MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Oubliette. Noh-Varr developed a crush on her but soon both were captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. and sent to different prisons. He was sent to the Cube where he was experimented on by the Cube's Warden. Soon he found himself brainwashed by Warden but was freed by the Young Avengers and the Runaways in ''Civil War''. Later he had a complete change of heart and decided to become a superhero after a Skrull impersonating Captain Marvel left him in charge of the protection of Earth. He was deceived by Norman Osborn and joined his Dark Avengers only to leave shortly after and join the real Avengers. He was kicked out of the team after some bad decisions and joined the Young Avengers after a fateful encounter with Kate. Obsessed with music (especially Phil Spector girl groups and briefly, Gram Parsons) and Earth girls. Currently banished from Earth, he still hangs out with the Young Avengers. He's single.

->Part-Kree, part-cockroach, he has all the powers that the Kree possess including super strength, durability, and speed. He also hasa seemingly unlimited supply of weapons and his own spaceship, the ''Kirby''. All of them are advanced Kree technology, however he mostly just uses a pair of handguns.

----

* AlienArtsAreAppreciated: Kieron Gillen describes him as an "alien hipster". His initial rejection of human culture when he first appeared has turned into a fascination not unlike certain modern Westerners becoming fascinated by African cultures. Though this depends on who's writing.
* AndIMustScream: How he says his time captured by the Cube Warden felt like to him.
* ArrowCatch: Once, he caught an arrow thrown by Kate in mid air while running to attack her.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Noh-Varr breaking up with Kate. If he would have controlled his desire of getting his old life back for a few more minutes, he would still have Kate.
* BadassBeard: Grows one after discovering the joy of country music and Gram Parsons.
* BeAllMySinsRemembered: He isn't proud of his actions both as Marvel Boy and The Protector. Or his time as Warden's slave.
* {{BFG}}: His primary weapons are guns big enough to remove the heads of gods.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the ''Civil War'' crossover with the Runaways. Everybody's aware of it, which explains why neither Billy nor Teddy [[EasilyForgiven seems to mind]] his presence, considering what he put them through back then.
* CharacterDevelopment: Started as WellIntentionedExtremist that looked down to humanity, then became inspired by story of [[ComicBook/CaptainMarVell Captain Marvel]] and in the end fell in love with human culture (and human girls).
* ChickMagnet: He was dating a Kree woman, Meree, just before he crashed to Earth, had a brief romance with Exterminatrix, a short-lived romance with Moonstone and a longer relationship with Annie, before getting together with Kate. Lampshaded by Spider-Woman, as she got annoyed that an alien man with no social skills was getting more dates than she was. [[spoiler: This comes back to bite him in the ass, as his ex-girlfriends are back and teaming together with Mother and Leah to take down the group.]]
* ComboPlatterPowers: Aside from some of the tropes below, he also has:
** SuperReflexes: From his Kree nature.
** SuperSpeed: Enhanced, to the point where he can enter the "White Run", cutting out all outside influences and move/fight at maximum efficiency.
** SuperStrength: Also a byproduct of his Kree nature.
** SuperToughness: He's triple jointed, from being mixed with the DNA of a cockroach.
* CurbStompBattle: Because of his background, he's a very formidable opponent.
** Issue four of Vol. 2 during a BigDamnHeroes moment.
** [[ComicBook/CivilWar When]] he met the original team, he wiped the floor with them and the Comicbook/{{Runaways}} (minus Speed and Molly) at the same time. And considering [[BrainwashedAndCrazy his state of mind]] he probably wasn't at his best.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Vol. 2 treats his past exploits as this.
* DynamicEntry: In issue four of Vol. 2, where he busts through the window of a diner. He even describes it as this trope.
* DependingOnTheWriter: His personality varies a lot from writer to writer. Even after Young Avengers, not all writers have him loving earth culture and recent stories have him preferring to stay in space.
* ExperimentedInCollege: Or more specifically while serving on an "exploratory ship", a term which has more than one meaning to his people.
* FirstGirlWins: So far, Noh-Varr can't find a person who matches the feelings he had when he was with Oubliette. This is most likely the reason why he broke up with Annie and the real reason why he broke up with Kate.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Noh-Varr blatantly admits to not believing in higher powers when conversing with Fantomex, turns out Kree offspring are tutored in a [[ColdEquation binary code]] which disproves the existence of transcendent beings. Hence his immunity to the Weapon XVI contaminant.
* FriendsWithBenefits: Kate's relationship with Noh-Varr seemed to be this and it is implied that a RelationshipUpgrade happened at some point. However, he confessed to Kate in the middle of battle that he still has some feelings for Exterminatrix. She's not happy with this and ultimately broke up with him. They are still friends but no word on the benefits part.
* HeartbreakAndIceCream: Despite remaining friends with Kate, Noh-Varr took his break up with her pretty badly -- never coming out of his floating space station, drowning in break up songs and junk food and rejecting any kind of contact with other living beings.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Among his many powers are his exploding fingernails and psychadelic saliva. They're both more than enough to stop Drax the Destroyer.
* HeelFaceTurn:
** Was one of the main antagonists in the The Runaways/Young Avengers crossover mini series and briefly ran with ComicBook/NormanOsborn's Dark Avengers.
** He also betrayed Comicbook/TheAvengers to the Kree during ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', which resulted in him being stripped of his role as the Protector. Later, he switch sides again and tries to amend his mistake by helping the Avengers, however this time, they don't accept him back and banished him from earth.
* HeinzHybrid: Part Kree, part cockroach.
* HumanAliens: He has the exact anatomy of a male human, but is a pink Kree.
* IHaveManyNames: Marvel Boy, Captain Marvel and Protector. He rejects them all nowadays.
* ItsNotYouItsMe: What he said to break up with Annie and Kate.
* KlingonsLoveShakespeare: Noh-Varr really loves Earth pop, especially Phil Spector singles. He has a vinyl collection and can spend hours talking about music if no one stops him.
* LegacyCharacter: To the earlier Marvel Boys originally (though he personally had never met [[Comicbook/{{Quasar}} either]] [[Comicbook/AgentsOfAtlas one]].), as well as briefly taking the Captain Marvel title in the ComicBook/DarkAvengers. By ''Young Avengers'' Vol 2 he's dropped the codenames, but stars using Marvel Boy again when he joins the Guardians of the Galaxy to avoid confusion with the other Nova on the team.
* MasterOfYourDomain: He has a technique for rerouting pain signals to his auditory cortex i.e. turning pain into music. There is also the White Run technique (see Super Speed above) that he used to defeat both the Young Avengers and the Runaways during Civil War.
* MessOfWoe: After breaking up with [[spoiler:Kate]], his room on his space station turns into this.
* MinorFlawMajorBreakup: The only reason Noh-Varr broke up with Kate was because he couldn't get to feel like before with her. She was perfect for him otherwise.
* MorphWeapon: Marvel Boy has, among other equipment, a pair of bracelets [[GenerationXerox strangely reminiscent]] of the Kree Nega-Bands. They have the ability change into weapons like a plasma blaster and razor blade which doubles both as shield and sword. He also has a "pocket battlefield," which is a bit like a portable RealityWarper device that alters space-time in a small area to confuse his enemies and give him an advantage.
* MrFanservice: See the first scene of Young Avengers vol. 2 #1, where he's dancing shirtless.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: He's the co-founder of the Utopian Kree faction, alongside the Plex Intelligence (which he brought along from his universe), Kree who are dedicated to not being murderous arseholes and instead to doing ''good'' things.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: His stilted pattern of speech, strange word choice ("Park of Central"), and lack of knowledge about Earth custom is at least partly a fake. Lampshaded by himself.
-->'''Noh-Varr''': My faking it is total.
* OffScreenBreakup: With Annie whom he was dating before leaving earth in the ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' event. Later it's revealed that Noh-Varr is the one who broke up with her claiming he was the problem and left. The little glowing piece that Noh-Varr left her before leaving was never mentioned again.
* OneSteveLimit: Played with, since his name is phonetically similar to "Nova" he insists on being called Marvel Boy to avoid confusion with Richard Rider during his stint with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
* TheOneThatGotAway: He thought Oubliette was this, which was why he broke up with Annie and Kate. After breaking up with the latter he begins to think she was this too.
* RealityWarper: In his own words, he can create pockets of reality where the laws of physics are what he says they are.
* RedemptionFailure: After he left Osborn's Dark Avengers, he became one of the good Avengers. Later, in ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree told him to get a sample of the Phoenix Force and steal it from the Avengers if necessary. He did that but then regretted it and betrayed the Kree. Everyone hates him now.
* ThreatBackfire: He threatens to leave Prodigy alone in space in his space station, if he didn't come with him and Hulkling to help him find the Exterminatrix. Prodigy, who is very impressed with the idea of living in space, agrees to stay. Noh takes him back anyways.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Was the least heroic and personable of a crew of Kree explorers, and it was the Earth's bad luck that he was the only one of them to survive the crash.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His casual outfit in the After Party.
* WallCrawl: Thanks to his DNA, he can run and stick to most surfaces without too much concern.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Was introduced as this. His ship got shot down by a mad scientist and, being the only survivor, was captured and tortured before he could escape. So he had very good reason to view Earth [[CrapsackWorld as a pretty terrible place]], and while his methods were violent, he genuinely believed it would be in the interests of everyone if Earth were terraformed into being more like his home planet.
* WalkingArmory: Has access to a wide variety of advanced Kree weaponry.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Not quite "black heart", but he was kind of a jerkass at the beginning, and ''especially'' when brainwashed by the Cube Warden. Definitely subverted nowadays.
* YoungConqueror: After he was released from his brainwashing, the ''Runaways'' crossover ended with him declaring his former prison the capital of the new Kree Empire. He's mellowed a lot by Volume 2, but the team's journey through the multiverse features several Earths where he made good on the threat.

--> ''"Listen to me: you have a choice...strictly following the ancient code of ninjutsu and being a dead ninja or going in like I say and ''maybe'' being a live ninja."''

-> '''Debut comic''': ''Comicbook/NewMutants v2 #4''

->Ex-X-Men and the newest member of the team. David was an intelligent boy who lived with his parents and his sister. When his X-Gene activated he was started to become more and more intelligent by absorbing the knowledge of everyone around. The X-Men found out about him and he was recruited to Xavier's school. He was assigned to the New Mutants where he was eventually appointed co-leader. When [[Comicbook/HouseOfM M-Day]] happened, David lost his powers. He didn't leave since it was dangerous for ex-mutants to be out of the school at the time, and eventually moved to Utopia with the other mutants. After both the Schism between Cyclops and Wolverine and the war with the Avengers David got fed up of the X-Men and decided to quit super-heroing for good. He got a job and settled into a somewhat normal life. That is, until he met Tommy who pushed David into helping him catch a criminal. Tommy was captured instead and David joined the Young Avengers in hopes of rescuing Tommy. Currently he is still with the Young Avengers. He came out as bisexual but is currently single.

->He currently doesn't have any powers. He used to be able to acquire every knowledge of the persons around him but not any powers. After his mind got restored he re-acquired all this knowledge that covers, but is not limited to, fighting skills, magic gestures, science skills and how [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Emma Frost and Cyclops like to kiss each other]].

----

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Thanks to his powers, he learned everything about anyone he met...including how they like to wipe in the bathroom.
* BearerOfBadNews: He tracks Billy & co down to inform them that [[spoiler: Tommy is spirited away by some unknown entity.]]
* BlackAndNerdy: Nothing says nerdy like (formerly) having the power to absorb knowledge from ''everything''.
* BlessedWithSuck: His power allows him to know everything other mutants know, including very awkward stuff.
%%* BrainySpecs[=/=]CoolShades: He wears them, allowing him to look even ''smarter.''
* BroughtDownToNormal: He lost his power in the M day.
%%BrutalHonesty
* DarkSecret: Prodigy gained one in Original Sins. [[spoiler:He is in possession of Terabytes of information regarding the Watcher's secrets, information that everyone believe, was lost.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: The way he copes with his soul-sucking job.
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: He's introduced doing tech support for superheroes, which is portrayed as incredibly frustrating. He also describes the workload as "enough for five" yet the supervisor still says that he's under call quota. However, he can't quit because his history with the separatist X-Men group bars him from better jobs and he doesn't want to be involved with the X-Men anymore.
* ForcefulKiss: Gives one to Teddy. One could think that after two instances of drama involving him and this trope in ''New X-Men'' he would know better.
* GondorCallsForAid: The above mentioned plan involves calling few friends for help. And by friends we mean a huge army of teenage superheroes.
* GreenEyedMonster: He falls for Teddy and tries to make him break up with Billy out of jealousy.
* KansasCityShuffle: In Original Sins, he played one of this with the Hood. The Young Avengers were helping Hood to retrieve the Watcher's many hidden secrets, however they also were planning to kick his ass once all the information were safely stored. Hood knew this and devised a plan to ensure his safety. If anything were to happen to him before he got the information, the key that decipher the information would have been transferred to computers all around the world. However, Prodigy [[spoiler:altered the information while building the machine and generated a key just for himself,]] leaving the Hood with nothing even after he escaped.
* KnightInSourArmor: His previous experience with the X-Men leaves him rather jaded, and he isn't pleased that Tommy drags him into investigating the supposed thief at their workplace. He doesn't exactly fight it however.
* NotSoDifferent: Next to Loki he's the smartest member of the team, which may actually explain their initial dislike for each other. [[spoiler: He proves he can be just as much manipulative and selfish when he tries to break Billy and Teddy's relationship, and just as deceitful when he tricks his friends into thinking he got rid of the Watcher's secrets when in reality he kept them for his personal use (mainly to use them for the good of others but still).]]
* OutsideContextProblem: WordOfGod states he's one for Loki, as his plans didn't took into account somebody like him joining the team. This is also the reason he won't make "meet the team" blogposts for David, like did for other characters - he enjoys the fact people don't know what to expect from this guy, thanks to his status as this.
* TheRival: [[spoiler: He was one to Wiccan for Hulkling affections for a time but Hulkling chose Billy in the end and he got over it.]] He was also one to Loki in trying to outsmart each other.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: With the help of mathematics, he manages to narrow down the gang's favorite haunt and even nails down their favorite order.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: His orange shades can have this effect, notably in the scene where they investigate [[spoiler: Tommy's disappearance]].
* TeenGenius: He was intelligent before, but amplified when he gained the power to absorb knowledge.
* WhatTheHellHero: In ''Comicbook/NewXMenAcademyX'' he had a history of doing this when some of his friends acted out of the line (for example, [[spoiler: Josh having an affair with a teacher, Noriko trying to BreakHisHeartToSaveHim]]). In ''Young Avengers'' he for once ends up being on reciving end of this [[spoiler: when Billy calls him on kissing Teddy and trying to break them up.]]
* WordsDoNotMakeTheMagic: He knows some magic words but has no power behind them - he considers magic "irrationality", which he's never been good at. Lucky for him, they still instinctively scare parasites from other dimensions.

-->''"Putting the Avengers together. It's Loki's greatest hit."''

'''Careful''', ''unmarked spoilers for the whole series follow. Read at your own peril.''

The god of lies himself. Or at least, the current version of him. Loki got very interested in Billy and how powerful he was. Having learned that his powers were becoming a little erratic due to his kid body being unable to withstand them, he planned to take Billy's powers by manipulating a lot of people in order to unleash a parasite into the world who would consume Billy, but not before Loki would get all of his power. However, he backed off at the last second and actually ended up helping Billy and the rest of the Young Avengers to escape the parasite. Since then, his objective was to manipulate Billy into altering reality and giving him all the power to control it as well. He got a victory by actually convincing Billy into giving him a new, more powerful body of a teenager. However he ultimately failed in his purpose of getting the ultimate power over reality when his guilty conscience forced him to confess all his deeds. This, along with Billy having realized that he was still too naive to mess with reality, was Loki's downfall and he eventually decided that it was best for the Young Avengers to continue without him as he was afraid of influencing them in the wrong way or betraying them again.

After leaving the team, he decided to start atoning for the mistakes of his older self and became the All-Mothers' secret agent. If you want to know how his story continues, [[Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard go here]].

!The Young Masters

[[folder: The Young Masters]]

The Young Masters are a group of teenagers first formed by artist Lisa Molinari better know by her codename Coat of Arms. She created the team as an art project to see how alike good and evil really are. The first iteration of the team was lead by Chris Colchiss aka The Melter. He wanted their team to be part of the Young Avengers and do super hero work. However, those plans fell apart and he ended up teaming up with Iron Patriot and his Dark Avengers. After their defeat, the team stayed together for a while until many members left to pursue other projects. Executioner took the leadership of the team and recruited new team members to pursue and agenda of villain extermination, he was defeated by the new Teen Brigade. The third iteration of the team currently operates in Bagalia and is commanded by Constrictor, instead of being a separate entity, they now do jobs for the Masters of Evil themselves.

--> ''"It doesn't matter, right? "Hero", "Villain"--! They're just...words."''

* AlliterativeName: Christopher Colchiss.
* BadPowersBadPeople: His powers are melting things, including living beings. Not much good you can do with that. This trope was actually invoked in universe when Coat of Arms told him that she always expected him to become a villain because of his powers but wished he wouldn't.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Coat of Arms theorizes that this is what drived his desire to be a hero.
* BlessedWithSuck: His powers turns everything (including people) into a liquid substance. This would be useful against machines or something if Melter had control over them and didn't use them against people when angry or very emotional.
* DemotedToDragon: He was the leader of the Young Masters when they started, but after he left for some time, he became a subordinate of the Mandarin. Later when he returned with his old team, he became a subordinate of Constrictor and Excavator.
* DrivenToVillainy: He was driven to villainy by Patriot of all people. He actually wanted to be a hero at first.
* FallenHero: He was the only one of the team who really wanted to become a Young Avenger for the right reasons, but after being rejected by Patriot, he decided to quit trying to be a hero and turned into a villain, and after that he kept falling more and more.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He was the only member of the original Young Masters who was scared of using his powers or being evil in general. Past some time, some surgeries to help him control his powers and he almost killed War Machine.
* {{Jerkass}}: He was a really nice guy at the beggining, but after leaving the Young Masters the first time, he just got worse. So much that he almost got killed by the Mandarin for starting a fight with Iron Man, using powers in a place where they weren't allowed.
* LegacyCharacter: There was a Melter before him but he is dead and there's no actual relation between Chris and the original one.
* NearVillainVictory: He actually defeated War Machine on his battle against him, however the plan was for him to kill Rhodey. Later we saw Rhodey somehow survived.
* PowerIncontinence: He accidentally melts an old woman who mistakes him for a mugger. It's later revealed he did the same thing to his parents as a kid.
* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Patriot is a determined, strong leader while Melter is doubt-filled and insecure.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Chris accidentally killed his parents with his powers.
* StartOfDarkness: When he accidentally killed his parents.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He and Sylvie were the only truly altruistic members of the original group.

--> ''"No! Do you finally get that? I've shown my commitment. I've been made by losing a parent to crime. We're not your students! We're your '''Masters'''."''

* AlliterativeName: Daniel Dubois.
* AntiVillain: He tried to be this at first. By the time of Vengeance, he became an outright villain.
* BadassNormal: Like the Punisher, he doesn't have any powers, just intense training and a lot of guns.
* BerserkButton: Being called a kid or a child.
* DragonAscendant: After the defeat of the original group at the hands of the Young Avengers and the departure of many original members of the group, Executioner became the new boss of the Young Masters. Under his leadership, the team became more ruthless but less intelligent and they all ended up being apprehended by Ms. America and the new Teen Brigade. Nowadays he's back at being another member under the lead of Constrictor.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Subverted. He thought he became a big threat after taking over the Young Masters but in reality, he kept losing embarrassingly against the new Teen Brigade and gets captured in the end.
* GeneralFailure: He was this in Vengeance. He had the motivation and the drive but he just sucked as a leader and strategist.
* {{Jerkass}}: He trash talks a lot and once, he tried to use blackmail material to bully Kate Bishop into getting him a place on the team and to be his girlfriend.
* LegacyCharacter: No relation to the original Exeutioner. However him being in the same team as the new Enchantress might have been an intentional nod.
* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Executioner and Kate attended school together, which caused friction when he recognized her.
* SeenItAll: He thinks he has seen all the scenarios between heroes and villains played out and because of their uselessness, the old villains should die and be replaced by a new generation of villains.
* SelfMadeOrphan: The Executioner later attempts to kill his mother by blowing up her car when he realizes that she was the supervillain Princess Python. She survives though, so this trope is subverted too.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Executioner has a big ego, thinking himself as the next Punisher first and later as a much better guy than the old villains who always fail at doing something. He never got anything done before losing the leadership of the Young Masters and turning into a pawn again.
* WeMeetAgain: A variation of the phrase is said by Executioner when he faces America Chavez again.

--> ''"The hero/villain paradigm worked as art. For a while. But art has to evolve."''

* AvengersAssemble: She assembled the team as a performance art piece on superheroes.
* BiggerOnTheInside: The pockets of Tiboro's Coat.
* CoDragons: She was one of the two dragons of Jeremy Briggs in Avengers Academy.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Lisa's powers come entirely from Tiboro's Coat.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: She was this to Melter. She didn't care about being a Young Avengers or getting revenge against them. She just cared about her art project and meeting her hero, Norman Osborn.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She clearly had feelings for Tommy and didn't want him involved in her project. She also shows deep concern over Melter when he finally falls from grace and turns evil.
* EvilFormerFriend: She is friends with Tommy but they operate on opposite sides. Somewhat subverted since they were still friends the last time they saw each other.
* FallenHero: She always had more anti-hero tendencies than normal hero but after seeing Melter give up and turn into villainy, she lost all hope in heroism and went full bad.
* TheFatalist: She believed that, [[BadPowersBadPeople because of his powers]], Melter was destined to become a villain. However, she also desperately desired for him to break those chains, defy that destiny and become a hero. He didn't.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: A very exact description of her reaction to meeting Norman Osborn.
* MadArtist: She formed the team as an art project examining superheroes. She is fascinated by heroes and villains alike and fangirls over being threatened by the Green Goblin.
* [[MetaGuy Meta Girl]]: Befitting her Mad Artist persona, she loves to muse on the nature of heroes and villains in the context of the Dark Reign event.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Her coat gives her several swords and magical weapons and six arms to use them.
* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Speed's Super Speed enables him to match her in battle. Helps that they have a shared past.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Deliberately invoked by her when she assembled the team.
* ShoutOut: In-Universe example. She named herself after the painting by Nick Walker.
* StrawNihilist: She formed the Young Masters under the belief that good and evil were one and the same and her project would show how those two concept clash to make a work of art. However, it's later revealed that she also, secretly, hoped that Melter, a kid who had all the makings of a villain, would bring them out of this gray area and show them how to be heroes in the end, he ultimately fails like in any good piece of art.
* VillainousCrush: She clearly had a crush on Speed and he apparently reciprocated those feelings. They never got together though.
* WhenSheSmiles: Though Tommy and Lisa had met before, he never saw her smile until their two teams started fighting. She was, as she called it, "exulting at a unique art event."

--> ''"You really think five minutes out of boob armor gives you the right to question my fashion sense? Back off, skank!"''

* CoDragons: She was one of the two dragons of Jeremy Briggs in Avengers Academy.
* CostumeCopycat: Sylvie's codename and general style are based off Amora the Enchantress.
* DarkMistress: She was in a relationship with Melter and was very loyal to him. When she was chosen to be part of the Young Avengers team but Melter wasn't, she decided to leave with Melter. Is not the only thing that defines her but is important enough to have a lot of focus.
* DeceptiveDisciple: Subverted, the Young Avengers thought she was going to be this because they found out the truth about her origin, but in reality, she really wanted to be a Young Avenger (although for the wrong reasons).
* DrivenToVillainy: She one day woke up with the powers of the Enchantress that were given to her by Loki, who wanted to do mischief. She basically became a villain because Loki wanted to have fun. Later she tried to get away from that world but she keeps being dragged in by people who promises her a better life or things like fame.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Melter is her boyfriend. She decided to leave with him after the Young Avengers offered her a membership on their team.
* IncompatibleOrientation: She tried to come on to Wiccan. It's not clear if this was to help infiltrate the team, actual affection, or was misunderstanding his friendliness for attraction; when he points out his sexuality to her, she doesn't seem to think it's a problem though.
* LegacyCharacter: She has no relation to Amora but she is somewhat related to Loki.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: When acting like the Enchantress she can be quite rude and most of the time careless but when she is Sylvie, she is just a girl from Broxton who isn't very bright but wants to have someone who understands her and live a normal life.
* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Wiccan and Enchantress are both magic users.
* VainSorceress: This is one of the most important part of her character.
* YeOldeButcheredEnglish: Enchantress tries to do this as she wishes to pass as an Asgardian. However, she often misuses old English words or slips into modern English.

* BadPowersBadPeople: Radiation powers are usually to kill people. Something this guy embraces fully.
* ForTheEvulz: He shares Executioner's beliefs to some extend but mostly he just wants to see the world burn.
* HateSink: The only reason he keeps talking about how he killed his parents or killing in general is to invoke this trope.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Subverted. He almost had a breakdown after Ultimate Nullifier took his powers for a while.
* LegacyCharacter: No relation to the Radioactive Man. He doesn't even know him.
* MakeThemRot: One of his powers.
* PoisonousFriend: All puns aside, he was this to Executioner. He never questioned his leadership and always followed his orders, however he just wanted to see the world burn when alone.

* SelfMadeOrphan: He killed his parents by turning them radioactive and all the nasty side effects did the rest.

* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Vision and Egghead are both sentient androids.

* TheDreaded: Xavin is terrified of him, with good reason.

* EldritchAbomination: She comes from another dimension and as of now, it's formless but she is described as a parasite by Kid Loki.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In issue #10 she [[spoiler: grabs the narration box and eats it, while the narrator begs the readers to save him.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: Or rather, Humanoid-Skrull abomination. She takes control of other humans though, so that counts.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: In the third volume, after [[spoiler: being outsmarted and taunted by Loki]] she intends to attack entire world and leave it scarred, as a message to the Multiverse she's not to be played with.

For this, he took Tommy hostage to ensure David would join the Young Avengers and then lead them across many dimensions where they go bad to show them how they would probably end if they ever decide to go bad. Finally, he leads them to Mother's dimension so they stop escaping and confront her]].
* TheDarkChick: To Ex-Men. He joins them supposedly because of a grudge against Kate, but in reality [[spoiler:he joins them to make sure the Young Avengers come to defeat Mother]], making him the only member who doesn't hold a grudge against somebody from the Young Avengers.
* EldritchAbomination: Assumed to be this.
* HumanoidAbomination: When he's manifesting into his patriot armor.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: He was this during all of Young Avengers vol.2. We didn't know why he was using Patriot's likeness, why he wanted Tommy or what he is in general.

* MindRape: Subjected Speed to one.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Mother passes up the chance to eat him, because something tells her it might be a trap.
* VillainTeamUp: Teams up with Mother as a part of his plans. [[spoiler: And then again with Mother and Leah]].

----

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler: She isn't the real Leah. She was created from Loki's subconscious wish to have Leah back when he held Billy's power. However, she was corrupted by Loki's self-loathing, making her obsessed with destroying him.]]

* BrokenBird: Leah.
* EnemyWithout: [[spoiler: Except for Fake Patriot, they're all manifestations of Loki's guilt that are tailored to the Young Avengers.]]
* {{Expy}}: A group of young people previously in a relationship with assorted Young Avengers? Turned evil? Sounds pretty much like, well, [[ComicBook/ScottPilgrim The League of Evil Exes]]. Lampshaded in one of the "yamblr" recaps.
* EvilMentor: Leah was one temporarily to Hulkling.
* FaceHeelTurn: Most of them were heroes last time we seen them. [[spoiler: They probably still are because these versions of them aren't real.]]
* {{Goth}}: Leah of Hel. Kieron Gillen says it's a pure coincidence, but she looks like the type of goth girlfriend he dreamed of at the age of twenty.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: In their focus issue, they're shown to be teenagers with various degrees of normalcy.
* ShesAllGrownUp: Leah and Annie. [[spoiler: Subverted, since both are magical creations from Loki's guilty mind. The real ones are not older yet.]]

** Leah of Hel - Loki
** Ultimate Nullifier - Miss America
** Meere and Annie - Hawkeye
** Exterminatrix - Noh-Varr
** Fake Patriot - Prodigy
** [[spoiler: Mother]] - Billy
* TranquilFury: Leah manifested this everytime she talked about Loki.
* {{Yandere}}: Except for Fake Patriot, all of them show some signs towards the Young Avengers, but Exterminatrix really takes the cake. (Even Meree and Annie think Exterminatrix is going overboard.)
